Tonight: Achachay! at Dizzy Rooster 8-10pm. I’ve been to this frat-tastic bar only a few times, but all of those times included me dancing on a bar … sober. That boy is headed to Rise Against with Rancid at Stubb’s. Should be a good time, look for a tall Vermon(s)ter standing outside before the show…

All the Single Ladies, All the Single Ladies … or Sirens N’ Boots Wednesday Night
Pardon the Beyonce reference, as Sirens N’Boots just sounds smokin’ hot, right, like a burlesque show in cowboy boots, like Southern songstresses ready to kick ass while lookin’ good? I mean, that’s what I’m like every night. Anyway, tomorrow night a three-piece all-girl group of singer-songwriters is eschewing their individual reps to form an act…
The King Comes to Town (Hello, George Strait)
I have wanted to see George Strait in concert since I’ve listened to country music. I’m gonna go ahead and estimate that at 13+ years (late music bloomer). And now he’s hitting Austin, er, Cedar Park! The Cedar Park Center’s grand opening concert features the King of Country. Did anyone even know they were building…

Shameless Promotions: Achachay! and Language Room (not together)
In a post of shameless promotions for people we love, let me tell you about my brother’s band’s new CD. It’s effing amazing. I’ll let him tell you about it: We’ve put our best efforts into an amazing five song EP entitled “A Preachy Catfish” and we want you to know that it is available…
A Band on Tour: Achachay!
I’m excerpting (ok, stealing in its entirety), a blog post I love below. It’s from Achachay!, a band touring the US in support of lowering the drinking age and promoting their music. It happens to be my little bro’s band, but even if it wasn’t, these blog posts about mishaps and adventures on the tour…
